    I don’t believe they are doing genocide. They are fighting Hamas who did commit genocide.

      Are all Palestinians Hamas?

      Hint: No

      That would be like saying all Germans are Nazis.

      Genocide: The intentional destruction of people, in whole or in part.

      Even if the answer was yes, genocide is not a valid excuse for more genocide. Get a better stance.

          WOOOOOOOOSHHHHH

          that was the sound of my question going right over your head.

          That, or you couldn’t think of a quality response so you go for the deflective stance.

            I don’t see attacking Hamas as genocide. Sorry. You do. I don’t. America doesn’t see it as genocide. I’m an American. Until our government calls it genocide, I won’t call it genocide.

              You don’t have to see attacking any body of people as a genocide, but that’s what it is.

              I’m not here to change your mind because you seem adamant that your views are flawless. But that doesn’t mean you’re not wrong.

                When has the United States declared it a genocide? When the government calls it a genocide. I’ll agree

                  So you’re incapable of thinking for yourself? A genocide is a genocide, just like theft is theft, rape is rape, and murder is murder. It does not need the acknowledgment of a governing body to make it so.

                  a good example would be the Armenian genocide. Turkey still does not officially recognize the intention slaughter of an innocent group of people as a genocide, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t.

                  If Joe Biden today called what’s happening in Gaza a genocide, you would agree with him?

                    Yes I can think for myself. I don’t see a genocide and neither does the federal government. So you are wrong on two things in a row which isn’t shocking.
